Understanding Male-Factor Infertility

Male-factor infertility accounts for approximately 40–50% of all infertility cases. It can involve issues with sperm production, sperm function, or sperm delivery. Common contributing factors include testosterone replacement therapy and anabolic steroid use, which can significantly suppress sperm production. The good news is that many causes of male infertility can be effectively treated or overcome with advanced reproductive technologies.

At Palm Beach Fertility Center, we provide comprehensive male fertility evaluation and work closely with urologists when needed to address all aspects of male reproductive health. Our semen analysis identifies specific issues, and we can provide guidance on reversing medication-related fertility problems.
